Biography
Neilos was not known for his conversational skills; it was said that he tended to not pause between words and sentences. People claimed that it could have been bearable if he also didn't speak in a low, rambling, monotone voice. At the very least, his quick talking meant he never wasted anyone's time. In 431 BC, he was hired to hunt down and kill the rival mercenary Kassandra at Koressia on Keos, but Kassandra killed him after a short battle.
